Research Interests

Abi has been a member of the Sober Lab since 2017. Before joining the graduate neuroscience program in 2022, Abi worked alongside graduate student James McGregor to study sensorimotor learning and error correction. Currently, Abi’s research investigates patterns of activity in multifunctional muscles during the execution of functionally distinct behaviors. Abi also explores motor learning and performance outside of the lab: she is a contemporary dancer and a dance teacher.
